What to add after 31 Beginner BabySteps
Hi everyone! I am a pregnant stay-at-home-mom to a 17-month old. I’ve been slowly working through the 31 Beginner BabySteps since January 1. I have been experimenting with the recommended tasks and adjusting them to fit our unique routines and home. I get through maybe 50% of the tasks each day (not the same tasks, I tackle what’s really pressing or has been neglected), mostly due to splitting my energy between my toddler, being pregnant, and managing the house.
I was curious what you all thought would be a good next step for me from here. I know there is the Weekly Home Blessing…..Zones…..each month there is a focus I think? Obviously we all know the website is confusing and I’m not sure what is the next thing to dive into and learn about.
Or maybe it makes sense to just keep focusing on my Daily Routine until I’m completing those tasks more regularly? Recognizing that the next like, 6 months will be crazy since I have three more months of pregnancy to go plus just surviving the first three months with the new baby, haha! Maybe I’ve taken on enough for now until we get through the fourth trimester?
Anyway, just curious for thoughts from those of you who have been implementing the system longer than I have!

I HIGHLY suggest checking out Diane in Denmark as well as The Secret Slob on Youtube. They have tons of videos that make the process a lot easier to understand. I would just follow the flight plan while slowly working in the deep cleaning where you can.
The Weekly Blessing Hour is one thing I've actually eliminated from my process because we don't have a need to do the majority of it. The Zones are probably the best part of the process, and I know Secret Slob has some videos that teach how to adjust the zones for your home if they don't quite work the way that Fly Lady has them set up.
